Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are beyond my reach, endlessly kind, with no edges I can find.
You made the whole universe and watch over every world. No one can copy You; nothing about the world's dust ever sticks to You.
When You are kind, You draw us close to the Guru — and that is how You carry us home.
The One too big to reach is the same One who reaches for you.
The One is beyond reach, and endlessly merciful. 'Not a particle of filth sticks to You' means the Maker stays pure while making everything. Being drawn to the True Guru is itself an act of grace, never something earned.
A Question to Sit With
What is something huge that still feels close to you?
